(1) All code was compiled with "-source 5" and
"-target 5" specified (this is the default). All tests use the
Java VM from Oracle (formerly Sun Microsystems) (see
http://java.oracle.com/). (2) Not all versions of Java support 64-bit systems. In the case of x86_64 systems only the most recent updates to Java 5 or Java 6 will work. Please see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html for more details. (3) $NM_CC and $NM_CXX was set to point to the Intel C/C++ compiler (icc and icpc). (4) As of RHEL5u5, there is no standard 64-bit version of Mozilla Firefox available (it comes with the 32-bit version of Firefox). Oracle (formerly Sun Microsystems) suggests using the 32-bit (Java plugin) for Java applet support for 32-bit versions of Firefox. (5) Note: As of Firefox 3.6.x, the new (Next-Generation) Java plugin (included with Java 6 update 10 and later) must be used (i.e. $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so) for Java applets to work. Please see http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/firefox_newplugin.xml for more details. Linux system, it will not work correctly!!! |

$NMROOT/htdocs/help/index.html
(Now includes the NeXtMidas Training Class and
an updated version of the NeXtMidas User's Guide.)
Escape Character Sequences in Tables and Results | - | ***MAJOR CHANGE*** The NeXtMidas macro language now handles escape characters BY DEFAULT, both in quoted String results created at the command line and Tables created from quoted Strings. The escape character is the backslash ("\"), which means that any String parsed as an Arg or a Table will have the backslashes treated as escapes, unless the backslash itself is escaped. This includes everything in a macro, since every line in a macro is parsed as a String prior to macro execution. The most likely negative impacts are to Windows users who create Windows path Strings using the backslash character as a directory separator. The new behaviour can be disabled using the ENV IOOPTION DisableEscapeSequences for args and the Table flag disableEscapeSequences, which can be set in ENV DEFAULTTABLEFLAGS. See DR 799057-1 for details. |
Running one-shot command from the OS prompt | - | Prior to NeXtMidas 3.1.2, running an OS command (or a typo in a NeXtMidas command name) from the OS prompt once the NeXtMidas session has started in the form 'nm somecommand' would incorrectly return the user to the NeXtMidas 'nM>' prompt. Users who were used to entering the NeXtMidas shell that way should instead use 'nm' followed by no arguments. |
CONVERT | - | In 3.1.0, a fix was made to the color mapping in the utility method GraphicsUtil.createImageFromFile(..). This fix prevents users from overwriting the "reserved" background color. As such, the "CTHRU" argument, which previously allowed users to set the background to transparent, no longer does anything. Users must now create a custom colormap if they want to have transparent areas. See DR 809218-1 for details. |
FFT | - | The /1D switch on FFT no longer sets the YUnits to TIME on the output file (i.e. it will default to NONE). See DR 807558-3 for details. |
FILE / BaseFile | - | In 3.1.3, a fix to correct OPEN/T/A (open text file and append to it) function . Previously it always overwrites at the beginning of the text file. This fix was done in BaseFile.open() so that it effects other subclasses (e.g. TextFile) when the APPEND flag is given. See DR 816801-1 for details. |
FILES | - | In 3.1.1, the /F switch outputs to a text file instead of a BLUE file when the filename extension ends with ".txt". See explain file or DR 524863-3 for details. |
GCONTROL | - | In 3.1.1, the /WTHEME= switch overrides the /THEME= switch. Additionally, the ALERT
widget type (GAlert) now fills the alert area with the widget's background color so
that it displays properly along with the widget's foreground color. To revert back to previous behavior, set the BUGFIX.GCONTROL_WTHEME_OVERRIDES_THEME
system property to false. See DR 528650-3 for details. |
- | In 3.1.2, the ALWAYSOPEN flag was removed from GMenu since it conflicted with the GWidget.TITLE flag setting. To achieve the ALWAYSOPEN behavior (on by default) make sure NOT to set the ROLLUP flag (which was meant to be an internal state toggle for popup menus when rolled up). To prevent a user from accidentally toggleing the ROLLUP flag, make sure the INLINE flag is set (on by default). | |
KEYWORD | - | In 3.1.2, the KEYWORD command FPUT/FSET functions were changed to correctly put
keywords in the MAIN header if they are in the .key file with a single '=',
otherwise put them in the EXTENDED header. Previously, all the keywords
defined in a .key file would be put in the EXT header. Users who
are using FPUT/FSET and expecting to put keywords defined with a single '='
in the EXTENDED header will see a change in behaviour. To revert back to previous behavior, set the BUGFIX.KEYWORD_FSET_INTO_EXTENDED_ONLY
to true or use the /EXTONLY switch. See DR 809249-3 for details. |
MAKE/BUILD | - | In 3.1.2, the "nmmake.codeareas" property in build.props was renamed to "nmmake.clean.codeareas" to better identiy the purpose of the property. |
MENU | - | Support for the deprecated keyword only ACT= parameter has been removed;
use FUNC= (second parameter) instead. In 3.1.1, the default ouput file format for /F switch was changed from 4A (32 chars) to XA (80 chars) to allow for longer command names and the possibility of including the non-SYS option tree names via /OPT switch. Use /FORMAT=4A switch to revert to prior format. In 3.1.1, when /F switch does not contain a filename, it will now default to "menu.tmp" vs "menu" which could be "menu.prm" or "menu.tmp". |
INVOKE, PLOT | - | In 3.1.1, the KeyObject class (which handles lookups and sets of items from the command line, setup tables, etc) was changed to prevent double-setting of Objects that are Tables, such as when passing in a LayerWMS config table in a PLOT setup table. There should be no effect to users. See DR 808602-3 for details. |
Plot default Features | - | In 3.1.1, the logic in Layer.getFeature() was made more precise. The result is that new (default) Features created via that method (which includes Query and mouse commands) on non-Type 1000 plots will no longer be of type DATA, since the DATA type of Feature is not supported except on type 1000 plots. See DR 808487-3 for details. |
Plotting results that are tables | - | In 3.1.0, code was added to PLOT to evaluate a passed-in filename to see if it is a defined RESULT. If it is, AND if the RESULT is a Table (or table in String form), the RESULT will get converted to a String. No expected negative impact to users. See DR 532542-3 for details. |
Plot Axis Buffer Zones | - | In 3.1.0, code was added to PLOT to create a small (user can configure via /axisBuffer=value [DEF=1e-12]) buffer to the edges of the plot axis (XMIN, XMAX, YMIN, YMAX), in order to show data that falls exactly on the previous axis level. Users who are checking for absolute equality of the axis based on set values may experience issues, and should use equality with tolerance (EQT) instead or disable (set to 0) the axis buffer with the switch /axisBuffer=0. See DR 807326-3 for details. |
Plot Messages | - | In 3.1.1, a small change was made to the way PLOT processes messages. Most messages that are not being processed by the PLOT thread (i.e. the current Thread is the MACRO or SWING EDT) are now re-queued for the PLOT thread to process instead. This is done to help prevent concurrent modifications by two opposing threads. For performance reasons, the PAINT, POINTER, and DRAG messages are excluded from this change. There is no expected impact to users, though the re-queue of the message does impose a small delay (def= 1/80th of a second). See DR 808415-3 for details. |
Aligning Time-based Type 1000 Plots | - | In 3.1.0, a change was made to automatically align (overlap) type 1000 plots that were time based but had a different abscissa start time. That chnage had the unexpected effect of breaking some user's plot, so in 3.1.2, the behaviour was put on a switch (/TimeAlign) with a default state of false. Users who were already takign advantage of overlapping time-based type 1000 plots will now need to use the switch. |
SEDIT | - | In 3.1.2, the SEDIT command was overhauled to bring it more in line with the X-MIDAS SEDIT functionality (for cross-use purposes). The LENGTH and SELECT functions were made one-based (since they count elements), and the BETWEEN and RANGE functions changed so that negative numbers are always an index from the last character in the input string. This new behaviour is off by default (using the new /LEGACY switch), but will be enabled by default in a future release. See the SEDIT explain file for more details. |
SWITCH | - | In 3.1.3, the SWITCH command was modified so that the DEL function now stores the value of a switch (in the result given in VALUE=) prior to deleting it. |
BaseFile / FileName | - | Since 3.1.0, nxm.sys.lib.BaseFile.getQualifiers() and FileName.getQualifierTable() returns an empty Table if no filename qualifer is specified (instead of null). See DR 807622-3 for details. |
LIST2 | - | Since 3.1.0, as part of our ongoing effort to increase message support, some users may see SELECT messages when clicking their LIST2, when previously they did not (unles they used the /legacy switch). |
Library changes | - | Some API method signatures has changed to take in more generic arguments, requiring a refresh compile of your source code (option trees, libraries). A NoSuchMethodError at runtime may be seen for classes compiled using previous version of NeXtMidas. FYI: Most classes compiled with NeXtMidas 3.1.1, will still run under most NeXtMidas versions 2.7.1 and later. |
- | FileName - In 3.1.2, the getExt(String) method was updated to return empty string ("") if input name does not have a file extension to be consistent with other APIs in FileName. Also, it now returns null if input name is null (instead of throwing a NullPointerException). See API docs for details. Use getExtLegacy(String) to revert to previous behavior. | |
- | ListFile - In 3.1.1, the update() method was added to the ListFile interface which mirrors BaseFile and DataFile's update() method to update the headers in the file. | |
- | StateVector - In 3.1.1, the setAccGeo(double[]]) method was corrected to call setAccGeo(double,double,double) vs setVelGeo(...). See DR 666331-19 for details. | |

- | RESULTS - new ability to count the results that matches given filter. See explain for details. | |
- | RESULTS - In 3.1.3: added ability to directly set boolean result (type "Z:") from INLINE TEST(..) vs requiring two statements (and one extra temporary results). | |
- | STATUS - In 3.1.1, added the /ALL switch to list additional main header fields for debugging. | |
- | SWITCH - In 3.1.2, added the /CS switch to get case-senstive switch values for non-quoted strings. | |
- | SWITCH - In 3.1.3, the DEL function was modified to store the current switch value in the VALUE= argument. Previously, it would delete that value, if given. See explain file for details. | |
- | TABLE - In 3.1.2, added /FLAGS= switch for the LOAD function to allow passing the desired Table flags on the output Table (e.g. to prevent duplicates and to NOT force to using KeyVector mode table for LOAD/T when ADD flag is NOT set). See explain file for details. | |
- | TABLE - In 3.1.3, to support Python integration, added LOADCFG and SAVECFG functions to allow users to read a .cfg file into a Table and write a Table into a .cfg file. See Table explain file for details. | |
- | Terminal - The command line terminal's tab-complete autofill now checks the OS environment variable NM_COMPLETION_AUX_EXCLUDE for a list of pipe ('|') separated AUXs to not search when attempting to autofill a filename. | |
- | Terminal - In 3.1.1, added the format(..) and printf(..) methods that takes C-style printf(..) format strings for displaying to output to terminal. See the nxm.sys.lib.Terminal API docs and/or DR 808128-3 for details. | |
PLOT | - | Layer1D now supports overlapping time-based type 1000 files. See DR 531915-3 for details. |
POPUP | - | In 3.1.3, Added ability to create FILE CHOOSER popup. See DR 810018-3 and popup explain file for details. |
RMIF | - | Added a /HOST= switch to indicate server's IP address or hostname to bind on for the Java primitive (within NeXtMidas) to mirror functionality of the host primitive (within X-Midas via NeXtOpt). See explain file and/or DR 523226-3 for details. |
- | Added a /DEVICE= switch so that a Network Device name can be supplied (e.g. eth0). This allows a more generic way to select the desired network interface card (NIC) on machines with multiple NICs. See explain file and/or DR 523226-3 for details. | |
RMSG | - | In 3.1.3, added support to T2R for X-Midas tables utilizing the H: or h: syntax. See explain file and/or DR 814318-1 for details. |
- | The Limits (OUTERLIMITS and/or VIEWLIMITS) table now supports XMIN for X1, XMAX for X2, same for for Y and Z. See DR 808273-1 for details. | |
- | Y-Axis text now rotates to draw vertically to ensure the text fits. This can be adjusted via the Axis menu options ~RotateVals (to force rotation of Axis text), and ~AutoRotate (which will only rotate the text as needed). | |
- | Since 3.1.1, LayerMulti now supports Plot mode settings (MAG,PHASE,10LOG,20LOG,REAL,IMAG) | |
- | Since 3.1.1, there is a new Layer LayerScatter for plotting CSV, Type 3000, and Type 6000 files. See the PLOT explain for details. | |
- | Since 3.1.1, Plot now supports the /XCNT and /MTAG=<table> switches. /XCNT is used to set which mouse actions send a message (same as CNT=), and /MTAG defines a set of results to be loaded with either the X,Y,Z, or X+Y values when the mouse action occurs. See the plot explain file for more details. | |
- | Since 3.1.1, there is a new Layer LayerScatter for plotting CSV, Type 3000, and Type 6000 files. See the PLOT explain for details. | |
VNCVIEWER;VNC | - | Now supports <host>:<display_number> syntax for HOST= argument. See explain file for details. |
WAVEFORM | - | Added ability to output shape=NOISE that matches the X-Midas WHITENOISE algorithm. See explain for details. |
XBC | - | Better support for X-Midas C++ host primitives within XBC and
OS environment varibles in primitives.cfg build configuration. |
- | Added support for following APIs: M$BETWEEN, M$EXT, M$FFTSIZE_BEST, M$FFTSIZE_VALID, M$HEAD, M$ROOT, M$TAIL, and M$TRIMS | |
- | In 3.1.2, added xmtime.h, msgmask.h, and qmessages.h header files
additional C++ host primitives support under XBC. During the
build processs for XBC and it's properly configured dependent option
trees, the qmessdecl.h, qmessdef.h, and qmessdef.hh are now auto
generated from existing messages.cfg files that exists in path
when CONVERT <opt> MSGCFG2INC is called.
|
|
Libraries | - | Args - support for REQUIRED flag in getTable(String,Table,int flags). + In 3.1.3, three parameters verions of getCS, getQ, getS, getU, getFileName methods and a four parameter version of getString method allows API user to specify the default value for a state switch (e.g. /switch vs a blank string getting returned). + See API docs for details. |
- | BaseFile - Ability to specifying default file qualifiers. See API docs and/or DR 807624-3 for details. | |
- | FileName - new toLocalFileName(int dir), toURL(), and setDefaultQualifier(..) methods. + In 3.1.2, new getBasename(String) and getRoot(String) methods. + See API docs for details. |
|
- | FileUtil - new recursiveDelete(..) methods to recursively delete the
specified path that works with bad symbolic links. + New toLocalFileName(URL), isLocalFileName(URL), and splitEntries(..) methods. + See API docs for details. |
|
- | GraphicsUtils - createImageFromFile(..) now supports complex data types in the input file. See convert explain file and/or API docs for details. | |
- | Import - new getEnv(String key, String defValue) method that returns defVal if the
OS environment variable is not found or if the JVM Security Manager prevents
reading enviroment variables (e.g. in an Applet). + In 3.1.2, new expandEnvVars(String) to subsitute variables starting with a dollar ('$') with existing OS environment varaibles. + See API docs for details. |
|
- | Keywords - Keywords.Iterator now implements java.util.Iterator. + Unpacking of lkey (length of total keyword block) field in keyword header is now signed int_4 (vs unsigned int_3). + Unpacking of lext (length of non-value part of keyword block) field in keyword header is now signed int_2 (vs unsigned int_2). + In 3.1.2, new addAll(Map), putAll(Map), and setAll(Map,int flags) methods to insert/add key/values from a java.util.Map object into the Keyword object. + See API docs for details. |
|
- | Parser - new constructor that allows the delimitor and doClean to be specified on object creation. | |
- | StringUtil - In 3.1.2, new cleanSplit(String) and expandVariables(..) methods. See API docs for details. | |
- | Table - remove(String key) and remove(String key,int attr) now returns the removed value. + new addIfNotPresent(..) methods similar to java.util.Set.add(..) method. + In 3.1.1, added support to use Java's ConcurrentHashMap (CHM) as a table mode (e.g. the underlying structure used to hold the keys and values.) + In 3.1.2, added new Table(TextFile, int flags) constructor and fromTextFile(TextFile, int flags) method. + See Table API docs for details. |
|
- | TextFile - In 3.1.1, flush() to write cached data to disk has been implemented. + Support for the FLUSH flag (to automatically write cached data to disk) is now available (e.g. useful when logging to text files). For example: RMIF/log=mylogfile.txt{flags=+FLUSH} + See API docs for details. |
ALL | - | A NeXtMidas installation built on a RHEL5 machine cannot run a RHEL4 machine.
It will crash when trying to load native code (with a SIGFPE). Workaround is to disable
native code via -DNONATIVE=true property, e.g. "setenv NM_USER_JVM_FLAGS -DNONATIVE=true ".
Another workaround is to build on the RHEL4, which can run on the RHEL5 machines.
See BUG 2330 NeXtMidas built with RH53 will not run on RH44 for more details.
|
- | On 2011-February-08, Oracle released a patch to correct Security Alert CVE-2010-4476 (Java Runtime Environment hangs when converting some floating point strings to a binary floating-point number). This vulnerability affects all (non-patched) versions of the Java Development Kit/Java Runtime Environment prior to version 6u24. Please correct this vulnerability on your system by running the Floating Point Updater patch, or, by upgrading to the latest Java Development Kit, version 6u24 or later release. | |
GCONTROL | - | Can not see cursor or highlighted text in text-entry widgets when using Java 5.0 on Linux (Java Bug 6287895). This is fixed in Java 6.0, please upgrade to Java 6.0 to avoid this issue. |
JDK 7 | - | Some users may experience graphical issues when initially un-ZOOMing some plots. This has only been observed on Windows 7 machines running JDK 7. Resizing or hard refreshes corrects the issue. |
OpenJDK | - | Some users have experienced minor graphical glitches in NeXtMidas GUIs when using OpenJDK. |
OS | - | There is a known Java Bug (4052517) that prevents OS commands from
being executed in Unix when the permissions are 750 and the user's
default group does not match the group of the command. The result
is either a "not found" or a "cannot execute" error. This bug is
fixed in Java 6. (This bug can cause the NeXtMidas build to
fail under Java 5 or Java 1.4.2 when gcc does not have
755 permissions.) |
PLOT | - | There is a rendering problem when PLOT is run from a Linux session inside VirtualPC on Windows XP. This appears to be a problem with graphics drivers in some versions of VirtualPC. We have been unable to duplicate the problem on a stand-alone installation of either Linux or Windows XP. |
SOURCEDG | - | SOURCEDG running on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4) may encounter
BindExceptions and/or SocketTimeoutExceptions due to a bug in the
IPv6 stack on RHEL4 (see Java Bugs 6347853 and 6218155). You can
avoid this issue by forcing Java to use the IPv4 stack (just do a
"setenv NM_USER_JVM_FLAGS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true " prior
to running nmstart). |
XBC | - | There is a known Java bug related to garbage collection (Java Bug 6268279 and related bugs) that can cause a core dump when making extremely frequent M$... calls from a host primitive (typically seen if polling a results parameter with little or no pause between calls). Upgrade to Java 5.0 to avoid this. |
- | Building static libraries with both the -fPIC and -i-static flag is still "experimental" in the Intel 9.1/10.x/11.x Fortran compiler (see thread 30222879 on the "Intel Software Network Forums" for details). In practice, this only appears to affect users on 64-bit systems. As a work-around only builds on 32-bit machines include the "-i-static" flags in "ifort.comp.append.32bit" and "ifort.link.append.32bit" properties in $NMROOT/nxm/sys/cfg/build.props. On 64-bit platform, the compiler will default to dynamically linking the Intel runtime libraries, so users will need to run with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment set to include the Intel libraries installed location. | |
- | The Intel C/C++ prior to 11.1.059 (update 3) has a bug that causes the BUILD of
C++ HOST primitives that access the Mu pointer to fail with an error message
like: "(0): internal error: 0_1561 ... compilation aborted for $NMROOT/nxm/xbc/host/test_mu_okio.cc (code 4). ". The Intel compiler has a bug in compiling code that access a thread local storage constant pointer (which is the definition of the Mu pointer). See Intel issue DPD200138828 at http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-professional-edition-compilers-111-fixes-list/. GCC does not have this bug. To workaround this Intel compiler bug (by not making the Mu a const pointer), define _WORKAROUND_INTEL_COMPILER_ERROR_0_1561 in your build.props (e.g. "native.lin.cflags.append=-D_WORKAROUND_INTEL_COMPILER_ERROR_0_1561") or directly in the C++ source file. |
|
- | There is a known issue running OpenMP in NeXtMidas. To workaround uncomment additional properties [ifort.libs.dir] and [ifort.openmp.workaround] in the SYS build.props. [ifort.libs.dir] is the path to the Intel compiler directory. [ifort.openmp.workaround] appends the necessary flags to the compiler however the library reference must be adjusted to reflect the respective Intel compiler version (if using Intel 12.x or later use -liomp5 otherwise use -lguide the current default). See the Users Guide or the example in the XBCTESTOPT2 option tree at $NMROOT/nxm/xbc/test/nmopts/nxm/xbctestopt2 . | |
VNC | - | It has been noted by users that NeXtMidas will not function in a VNC session if the -depth option is set to 32. 32 is an invalid color depth, valid -depth option settings are 8, 16, and 24. We recommend the default -depth setting of 16. |
CALL | - | A SUBROUTINE does not have limited scope, scope is the same as procedure. |
CONVERT | - | Tables created by the XML2TBL function may appear to "drop entries" when dereferenced. Since XML2TBL is deprecated, this will not be fixed, use the XML2TAB in place of XML2TBL. |
GCONTROL | - | Some controls do not support headless mode. |
LIST2 | - | The table for a /LEGACY select message may contain "extra" fields. |
- | Row/cell selection is undefined when listing a pipe. | |
- | Type 2000 files with large frame size may not load properly. | |
- | CLICKACTION={COL=...} does not work properly (BUG 1352). | |
NeXtOpt | - | Changes in X-Midas 4.5.x prevent NeXtOpt from running. |
- | NeXtMidas commands run from inside an X-Midas macro (specifically when using PIPE or XPIPE) may exit prematurely. For example a NeXtMidas intrinsic run from the INITIALENTRY of a controls section can cause the pipe to stop prematurely. | |
- | May get warnings about problems mapping to the messages section if the X-Midas message queue is not up. | |
PLOT | - | A PLOT of a pipe on a hidden tab may discard data from the pipe while the tab is hidden (similar to use of the /NICE= switch). |
- | Timecode readout for large Type 2000 may give t=00:00:00. | |
XBC | - | XBC does not support running two copies of the same command simultaneously. |
